Acts 16:16-25
Psalms 92:1,69:30,95:2,100:4,107:1
John 6:11

Colossians 3:17,4:2
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Romans 1:21

Acts 5:41

What! am I the soul to whom the Lord has revealed the infinite excellence of Jesus Christ, and yet shall I think such a little affliction to be so grievous to me, when I have had the sight of such glory in Christ as is worth more than ten thousand worlds? Jeremiah Burroughs The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
